naighbors, some of whom were Jealous that
their own children were not among the num-
Der, this caused unpleasant gossip, and Mrs.
Severn and her husband induced Rusail to
forbid the children the house. This made
Ruskin very angry at Mrs. Severn. He inn
mediately sat down and wrote letters all over
the country denouncing Mrs. Severn in the
strongest terms. Fortunately he left the
sealing of the letters to his faithful valet,
Baxter, who saw that they were never posted.
Baxter never leaves him, and, it is said, is
not in the least influenced by the fact that
his master discharges him at least once day.
Mr.. Ruskin went to live at the little coun-
try inn, and then to the cottage of former
servant, accompanied by Baxter, of course
He got possession of his check book, and gave
checks right and left, till he had overdrawn
his bank account. Then his malady took an
other turn. All excitement disappeared, and,
i'll physically as well as mentally, he took to
his bed in a melancholy and almost silly con-
dition. Then he grew better, but was soon
worse again, this time becoming more violent
than before. 1t was necessary to remove the
pictures from his bedroom, lest he destroy
them by his violence. Since then he has i'm
proved somewhat, and left Brentwood
fortnight ago, but whittier he has gone no
one at Coniston knows. Everything in the
house is put away carefully, as though long
absence was contemplated. On leaving the
place the unhappy owner remarked that he
might never see it again.

the said Commissioners must there

serted the superiority of modern art over
ancient art, and was among the first support

at least In 1867 he was named Rede pro-
fessor at Cambridge, in 1869 professor of the
fine arts at Oxford and later S,ade professor.
Mr.. Ruskin's home, Brant'-,oJ is built
Economically, but unhealthrully, at the base
of a hill near the edge ri Coniston lake, one
of the love.icgt spots in the English lake dis
trict. When he purchased it the house was a
mere crumbling shed; but he has made 1t
dwelling fit for philosopher, if not king.
Curiousy enough q superstition prevails
among his ignorent neighbors that the curse
of insanity is sure to fall upon the proprietors
of Brentwood. An artist named Lynton,
who formerly owned it, lost his mind and
died there. This, of course, gave rise to the
superstition. Within the house is an mex
haustible museum of artistic treasures. Pic
lures there are in abundance, enough to crys-
tallize into fortune. Among them are

worshiper. Art and science are equally
represented in the various articles lying
about-here a manuscript, there a picture;
here section of a stone, there the anatomy
Of a plant. The furniture of the house is
strong and substantial-not in the least
aesthetic. Much Of it belonged to Mr. Rus
kin's father.
OF Ruskins inherited wealth nothing re-
understanding but the pictures. 1t has
melted away under the fervor Of his passion
for everything that is rare, beautiful and
costly. And he has always had certain ideas
of comfort which it took money to crafty.
For long time past he could not be induced
to travel by rail or steamboat if it could be
avoided, but went about in his private car
riage Then, too, he was generous to ruin
GUS degree. For years he had list of PEN
sioners who would cause tho purse Of a
Vanderbilt to collapse. They were mostly
writers who failed to get coin for their work,
and artists who had made the fight and
broken down before it was ended. His books
bring him i'll from $4,000 to G3 900 year,
and upon this he is now living. Even that
gets sadly straitened sometimes, and occaa
sionally picture disappears and is sold in
London by dealer who has been Ruskin's
lifelong friend, and always for a far higher
price than Mr.. Ruskin paid for it. The fact
that it is from his collection enhances its
value.

critic and philosopher that was, is now men,
tai wreck, under the vigilant care of nurses
for the mad. For some time a rumor has
been flying about London to the effect that
John Ku5kin's retirement from literary work
was due to mental breakdown. And now
the rumor has crystallized into a well known
fact. The master of English prose is now a
baby in intellect.
The life of SO eminent man is known to
almost everybody. He was born in London
in the year 1919 His father, a Scotchman,
was a successful wine merchant, and left to
his son a fortune of $1,000 q year. On the
death Of his mother this fortune was in
creased considerably. Thus, from the begin
ming Of his career, he was able to crafty his
artistic and literary tastes without fear Of the
bugbear of poverty. His parents were de-
voted to him. He has given an account Of
his childhood and their care in training him.
He records that his mother even went to Ok
ford and staid there during term time.
Ruskin is best known as an art critic, but
he is also famous for his writings on political
economy, in which he excoriates the sordid.
money seeking tendencies of the age. He
has been called the head Of a school Of self
denial, honest art and genuine culture.
Mr.. Ruskin was graduated in 1912 at Ok
ford, having studied at Christ Church col
lege, and Immediately afterward devoted
himself to the study of art, particularly
water color drawing.

ALTURAS COUNTY.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY S OFFICE OF !
ALTURAs COUNTY,
HALEY, IDAHO, Aug. 1887. }
W. W. YEATEs, ESQ, Assessor and Collector of
Alturas County, Idaho Territory, HALEY:
Yours requesting an opinion upon
Section 1910 of the Revised Laws of
Idaho, in reference to the collection
of delinquent taxes, received.
That section reads as folio VS.: "All
taxes assessed before this Code takes
effect must be collected under the
laws in force at the time the assess
ment was made, and in the same
manner as if this Code had not been
passed."
A large proportion for this year
was assessed before the first day of
June, the day upon which the new
law went into operation. A portion
of the taxes, however, were assessed
since the lst day of June, A. d. 1887.
Under the law as it was prior to June
LIST, taxes became delinquent on the
second Monday in November, and
after becoming delinquent penalty
OF Is per cent. was added.
Under the law that became opera
tive June lst, taxes become delinquent
on the second Monday of December,
and when delinquent penalty of 10
per cent. is added.
Now let US apply Section ITO. 1t
means that the taxes assessed before
June 1st must be collected under that
law-"the law in force at the time the
assessment was made"-and if such
taxes become delinquent, they must
be collected under the law and in the
same manner as if the Code had not
been passed.
If those who were assessed before
June LIST permit their taxes to become
delinquent on the second Monday in
November, they must pay the Is per
cent. penalty, and those subsequent
to June LIST, if delinquent on the sec.
ond Monday in December, must pay
the 10 per cent. penalty.
However anomalous this may APP
pear, such is the plain mandate of
the law.
understand the practise of your
office has been to notify, by card,
those who owe taxes. 1t is suggested
that said notification contain the time
when the assessment was made, when
the tax becomes delinquent, and the
penalty in each particular case.
Your obedient servant,
GEO. H. ROBERTs,
District Attorney.
